Wigan climbed out of the relegation zone and left Wolverhampton Wanderers bottom of the Premier League with a 2-1 win at Molineux on Sunday.
Hugo Rodallega put the visitors ahead in the ninth minute by collecting a cross by Gary Caldwell and swiveling to shoot into the bottom corner.
The Colombia striker then turned provider, threading a ball through for Tom Cleverley to steer a finish past Wolves goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey in the 20th.
Wolves went close through Stephen Ward's deflected free kick but Wigan goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi was hardly troubled until substitute Steven Fletcher hooked in a consolation with three minutes left.
